Substance use disorders in Te Rau Hinengaro : the New Zealand mental health survey : final report

The purpose of this report is to provide information for people whose interest is primarily in substance use disorders, rather than mental health in general. It is a companion document to Te Rau Hinengaro: The New Zealand Mental Health Survey, where results are presented for all disorders assessed.

This report took the data from the survey and subjected it to further analysis to determine the prevalence of substance disorders in New Zealand and their patterns of onset and impact for adults in New Zealand, information that was not available before this survey.
